It becomes easier to tell light / dark (but less .. in a color sense?) and other sensations apart so I will focus on what I can and go from there.

It can be very helpful to use colours. You do not typically use the default chakra colours by the way. Those are the ideal colours for a chakra, meaning when a chakra is totally balanced, clean and activated. We hardly ever are there/get there, and in order to get there a chakra may need another colour first.
Colours are very powerful (think colour therapy) and each colour has a vibration that has a healing effect.
Best is to just think of a colour when you're focused on a chakra and the first colour that comes up in your mind is right for that chakra at that time.
Remember that if you do another meditation, another may come up for the same chakra, that's okay and perfectly normal.
The reason that using colours works so well is that they make it a lot easier to 'own' a chakra completely, to make it truly yours. You fill it up with a colour that feels right to you and the more you fill up your energy system, the less easy something/someone else can 'invade' it.
Not talking entities per say, also dense energy in the sense of negativity, your own negative thoughts, difficult colleagues etc etc.
Also, a colour can help heal, activate, open, and/or stabilize a chakra. Sometimes you see that you need the complementary colour of the default colour for a chakra. (the complementary colour being the one directly opposite a colour in the colour chart).
All part of the healing process of a chakra, or cleansing, or ...
you cannot go wrong in using colours, it only makes your chakras stronger, healthier. More powerful in keeping stuff out that shouldn't be in there to begin with.
Also ... using colours makes it much easier to see if there is something dense in a chakra. If you fill a chakra with let's say yellow, you will very easily spot misty, dark, grey, black spots / areas in it. Or areas that are simply difficult to 'paint' yellow.
If you notice such areas, you can work on them to cleanse them. Just visualize doing this with a brush, a sponge, a garden hose, whatever. Have fun with it. The more fun you have, the better it'll work.
I used to visualize myself as a young girl (inner child) to do the cleansing. The little girl just having a lot of fun, splashing and dashing with water and soap and a brush.
If you can't get it clean in one go, no problem. Work on it another time. Cleansing is often done in layers, a bit at the time.
Don't put too much effort in it all, like I said, have fun with it. Have a good giggle, effort-energy works against you. If you have problems visualizing a chakra, just see a beautiful flower. Or a circle. Doesn't really matter all that much. Just don't 'effort'. Relax into it. As soon as you do that, it all becomes so much easier.
